PS VITA / PS TV PFBA v1.15 (MOD Version) by rsn8887

Everyone likes a bit of emulation to relive those classic's, and thanks to developer rsn8887 we have some new additions to PFBA for PS Vita in this modded release of Cpasjuste's original (PFAB-Vita) . The FBA (FinalBurnAlpha) emulates classic arcade systems like NEO GEO, Capcom CPS (1,2,3) just to name a few of the many classic arcade systems emulated, but in recent years fba developer have added support to emulate now only arcades but also classic consoles as well. Some of those system's consist of PC Engine (TurboGrafX) & Genesis (MegaDrive) to name a few ((note rsn8887 has fixed support for these consoles in this update). Developer Cpasjuste already had a great port but rsn8887 has made some great additions as well. View all the changes & details about this modded version below along with the details from the original release.​

  PFBA Vita_mod: Modded version of Portable Final Burn Alpha for the Vita​
  
  
  ​
  
  
  
  Quick release with additions/changes to Cpasjuste's awesome PFBA emulator for Vita.
  
  NOTE: This version appears as a new bubble even when updating. I am not quite sure why. But it is safe to delete the old bubble.
  
  Big thanks to Cpasjuste for a great codebase. This release page might be ahead or behind Cpasjuste's repository depending when pull requests are merged etc.​

  1.06
  

  • added rotation options OFF+FLIP (flipped vertical for handheld portrait mode with pad at the bottom) and OFF+CAB.MODE (non-rotated controls for arcade cabs and vertical monitors)
  • fixed FIT 4:3 option so it works even with rotation, and removed the now-unneeded FIT 3:4 option

  1.05
  

  • pulled in more changes by Cpasjuste, such as some speedup in SDL library and the re-instatement of smaller audio buffer to completely eliminate all audio lag.

  1.04
  

  • pulled all audio changes by Cpasjuste, sound seems to be perfect now on PS Vita.

  1.03
  

  • remove unneeded audio buffer hack

  1.02
  

  • reduce audio delay thanks to Cpasjuste, and I made a small change to it to hopefully eliminate the distortion/stutter

  1.01
  

  • support for multiplayer/multiple controllers on Vita TV. Controllers have to be paired before PFBA is started

  1.00
  

  • added "FIT 4:3" and "FIT 3:4" options to force the typical Arcade TV aspect ratio. Many Capcom games have strange resolutions but were designed to fill a 4:3 TV aspect ratio image. Strider and Final Fight are two examples. Without forcing 4:3 aspect these games will look stretched with too much widescreen.
